James' POV
"Start explaining! We don't have all day!" Gustavo barked.
He was taking this way too seriously.
"Well, I didn't want to drink the blood at first...Damon and I were resisting it and using all of our will power" I started to say.
"What would happen if you didn't drink the blood?" Kelly asked.
"Then we would die" I replied.
Gustavo scoffed "You wanted to die?"
"Yes, but of course these guys wouldn't let me" I laughed.
"And Damon...?"
"Stefan wouldn't let him die either" I said.
"So what happened?" Kelly asked.
"Well we drank blood and...loved it but when James refused to...we had to force him" Kendall answered for me.
"Force him? James is just about as stubborn as you Kendall!" Gustavo laughed.
"But as a vampire once you see blood...you have an instinct to go after it" Logan explained.
"So we bit the person..." Carlos started to say.
"And I drank from them" I finished.
"So after you became vampires, you forgot about Katherine and became friends again?" Kelly asked.
We laughed and I said "It didn't exactly happen like that...we absolutely hated each other"
(Flashback)
"James you need to feed" an impatient Kendall told me.
"No, I don't" I argued.
"James we need to stick together in this" Logan told me.
"Stick together? With you guys arguing every few seconds and you tell me that we need to stick together?" I laughed.
"We all need to be careful, we need to be like Katherine" Carlos said.
"Look where that got her" I told him.
He looked at me waiting for an answer "Dead"
"Fine if you want to go starve yourself...go ahead! But don't come bothering me when you realise that you are wrong!" Carlos shouted.
He turned to walk away but Kendall grabbed his arm "None of us are going anywhere until we figure this out!" Kendall shouted.
"Figure what out Kendall?" Logan asked.
Before he could respond I said "Look we are all probably better off on our own"
"Are you insane?" Logan yelled.
I shrugged and he carried on "You won't even feed! What will happen when you eventually give in and people find out that you are a vampire? They'll kill you James!"
"That makes no difference since we are already dead!" I yelled.
"James, I'm sorry that your 'perfect' life didn't go according to plan but fighting won't solve anything!" Kendall told us.
"I agree" I said. They looked at me strangely and I continued "Fighting won't get us anywhere which is why we need to go somewhere preferably on our own"
"I just can't imagine you guys...hating each other" Kelly said surprised.
"And I can't imagine you guys splitting up" Gustavo added.
"That's why we didn't...or we tried not to" Kendall told them.
(Flashback)
"Where are we going?" an eager Carlos asked.
"Somewhere far from here" I answered.
"Wait" Logan called out.
"What?" Kendall asked.
"Everyone from our town is in the graveyard! We should see who died!" Logan replied.
We made our way silently to the edge of the gates and saw four coffins.
"Guys...is that...us?" I asked.
"Listen" Kendall told me.
"Today we witness the burial of four young brave men. They died fighting for our country in the war, unfortunately their bodies could not be found but let these coffins and gravestones represent them" a priest said.
"We didn't die in the war" Carlos whispered.
"No they're covering for us" Logan whispered back.
"Why?" I asked.
"Obviously our fathers didn't want the town to know that we were with the enemy so they covered the evidence and made it look like we died fighting" he explained.
"Also it makes them look good" Kendall added.
I was starting to feel weak but I couldn't let the guys see.
"What's that over there?" a little child asked while pointing to us.
We looked over and saw the same thing happening to Damon and Stefan.
"VAMPIRES!" Mr. Mitchell called out.
They got out their emergency stakes and everyone got their vervain out.
"Time to run!" Kendall told us.
"Why didn't your fathers look for your bodies?" Kelly asked.
"They thought that some rogue vampire took us and drank our blood" Logan answered.
"And they didn't care" I said.
"I'm sure that they cared..." Kelly started to say.
"But they didn't. When Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Salvatore told our fathers about what we had supposedly done they were ashamed. They didn't want the town to know because it would ruin their image" Kendall explained.
"What happened when they noticed you?" Gustavo asked.
"James get up! We need to run now!" Kendall ordered.
"I can't" I replied feeling weaker than ever.
"We told you to feed and now you have put us in a life or death situation!" Logan said angrily.
"Me? You wanted to see the funerals!" I reminded him.
"But at least we are fit enough to run!" he retorted.
"They're getting closer!" Carlos told us.
"We're going to have to carry him!"Kendall said while lifting me up.
Logan and Carlos grabbed my legs and they ran off at vampire speed back to Emily's cottage.
"You keep mentioning 'Emily' but who is she?" Gustavo asked.
"When Katherine came to tow, so did her maid Emily" Logan started to say.
"Emily was a witch" Carlos said.
"She made these rings for us" Kendall told them.
"And she saved Katherine and all of the other vampires who were burned down in the church!" I said.
"Where did they go?" Kelly asked.
"She put them in a tomb" Logan answered.
"She's still there...right?" Gustavo asked.
"She should be" I replied.
"She better be" Kendall agreed.
"What do you mean by that?" Kelly asked.
"Well she messed up our lives and James...isn't exactly stable when it comes to Katherine" Kendall explained.
"I'm fine when it comes to...her!" I exclaimed.
"Not really..." Logan said quietly.
"What?" I screeched.
"James, we know that you were hurt the most when she got caught and when you found out she was with all of us. You still love her" Carlos said.
"I don't. She's gone! I'm now searching for my soul mate while living the life with my mates" I smiled.
They smiled with me but I knew that they also wanted to say something else.
"Ok, you don't love her still but we can tell that you are still hurt" Kendall told me.
"Fine I admit...I don't particularly like being like this...and I blame her for ruining my life but we just need to focus on our life now" I persuaded them.
"Anyway back to the story! What did you do when you got back to the cottage?" Gustavo asked.
"Finally, we're here" Kendall sighed while dropping me. Carlos and Logan followed his actions and dropped my legs.
"Hey! I'm not that heavy!" I argued.
"No but you are a nuisance" Logan told me.
I shrugged and tried to get up but my arms were just too weak.
"He needs to feed...now!" Kendall observed.
"We don't have time! Surely most of the town are looking for us" Logan reminded him.
"What can we do?" Carlos cried.
"Calm down...we just need to get James something to eat and then we get on a train" Kendall said.
"Are you ok?" Emily asked while walking towards us.
"Not really, we need to leave but James is too weak because he refused to feed" Logan explained.
"I can help" she offered.
"How?" I asked.
She bent down and put her wrist near my mouth.
"Drink" she ordered.
"I can't..."
"Don't worry"
"But I don't know how to stop" I admitted.
"Don't worry" she repeated "You will"
I brought my lips to her wrist and bit, feeling the warm liquid running down my throat. I remembered that I had to stop but something was stopping me.
Suddenly I had a pain in my head...I stopped drinking and held my head in agony.
"James!" Kendall called out.
The pain went and I asked "What happened?"
"You stopped when I wanted you to stop" Emily shrugged.
I looked at her strangely and she said "You need to leave now...get on the next train"
We nodded and got up to leave.
"Where did you go?" Kelly asked.
"We travelled with Stefan and Damon to New Orleans" I answered.
"Why did you travel with them?" Gustavo asked.
"They wanted to kill each other so we thought that we would be able to stop them and we had nowhere else to go" Kendall answered.
They nodded and Logan said "It's getting late"
"No it's not! You are trying to change the subject!" Gustavo accused.
"No, I'm meant to be meeting up with Camille!" he said back.
"You're not feeding off of her are you?" Kelly asked.
"No! We only feed off of animals and sometimes blood bags!" Logan answered.
"Does she know?" Gustavo asked.
"No!" Logan responded.
"Good then make up an excuse!"Gustavo told him.
Logan whipped out his phone and texted Camille in record time. I could tell that he was angry with Gustavo. He had basically just taken away his 'normal human' time with Camille.
"Come on don't stop! Tell us what happens!"
We jumped onto a moving train and were glad when we found out that it was going to New Orleans. That would hopefully be far away from Mystic Falls. Nobody would think of searching for us in a bog city!
"Right, we need to be careful...I don't think we should split up" Kendall said but Damon and Stefan had already left.
"That plan has gone out the window" I observed.
"Ok, us four cannot split up" Kendall ordered.
"Fine, but lets' at least get a set in first class. We cannot stay here!" I argued.
"But a ticket guard will come round and ask for our tickets, which we don't have!" Logan reminded me.
"So we just compel him!" I defended.
"None of us know how to compel!" Carlos told me.
"I do" I told them
"How?" Kendall asked.
"Katherine taught me" I answered.
"So she taught you...but not us?" Carlos asked sounding jealous.
"Don't forget I spent extra time with her after Rose died so she probably had more time...to teach me" I told them.
They nodded still looking a bit glum. We walked towards first class and were about to get in when the ticket guard asked "Sorry Sirs, where are your tickets?"
I looked him in the eye and said "We already showed you our tickets"
He nodded and smiled "Of course, sorry Sir"
We walked past him and found some an empty carriage.
"How did you do that?"Carlos asked.
"What you have to do is look them in the eye and feel their mind connect with yours and then you basically control them...but if you break the connection then the compulsion is over" I explained.
"So if you tell them to do something and then take your eyes off of them, it doesn't work?" Logan asked.
"Basically, you wait until you tell them what to do and they agree to it" I replied.
"What do we do now?" Carlos asked.
"We wait until the train stops in New Orleans and see where that takes us" Kendall answered.
"Where did it take you?" Gustavo asked creepily.
"If you stopped interrupting you might get a full explanation!" Kendall replied getting in his face.
"I don't care if you are a vampire, you're still my dog" Gustavo told him.
"I don't care about my animal diet, I will bite you" Kendall smiled.
Gustavo leaned back in his chair and we had to physically pull Kendall back.
"Ok, I think that we are all getting a bit angsty now...we should just continue tomorrow" I told them.
"Don't stop the story there, it's just about to get good" a voice said from behind us.
I knew that voice too well but I turned around to check and bit back a gasp.
"K-Katherine?" I choked out.
"Miss me?"
Hope you like! Sorry it's not as long as the others but I thought I should end it there :S Sorry it was all in James' POV as well I wasn't sure where to fit in the others but there will be more of them in the next chapter and about their individual relationship with Katherine!
